Personal Data means any information which enables us to identify you and which is related to an identified or identifiable natural person (also known as a ‘data subject’), such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier to one or more factors specific to the identity of that natural person.

In the event that you opt in for receiving promotional materials, we may from time to time notify you of special promotions, new products or services, or other information that may interest you.

We reserve the right to disclose any such Personal Data if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, or protect the rights, property or safety of Equinix, its employees, customers, or the public.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Some of our web pages utilize "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID, which the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only Personal Data a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of Equinix’s web site use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this to determine the usefulness of Equinix’s information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. Equinix does not correlate this information with Personal Data about individual users, nor does it share this information or sell it to any third party.

You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the website.
